You are invited to the RNS 2018 Fall Live Dinner Series

The RNS, a society for registered nurses (RNs) and advanced practice providers (APPs)—which includes nurse practitioners and physician assistants—invites you to the 2018 Fall Dinner Series on The Challenging Nature of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Find a location near you and join us for a complimentary dinner alongside fellow rheumatology healthcare professionals. You will have the ability to network with other like‑minded professionals as well as earn 1.5 CNE contact hours during our accredited educational activity.

This educational initiative will focus on the following objectives:

Describe the immune response and cytokine mediators that trigger the development of SLE

Assess recent evidence regarding the benefits and limitations of mainstay treatments used to treat SLE

Discuss the mechanisms of action, appropriate patient populations, and safety considerations of recently approved and investigational agents used in the treatment of SLE

Identify common reasons for non-adherence in patients with SLE and develop strategies to overcome adherence barriers

Participants have the potential for receiving a maximum of 1.5 continuing nursing contact hours. Rheumatology Nurses Society is accredited with distinction as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (Provider No. P0500).

This activity is currently pending review with the AAPA for 1.5 AAPA Category 1 CME credits. PAs should claim only those credits actually spent participating in the CME activity. This program was planned in accordance with AAPA CME Standards for Live Programs and for Commercial Support of Live Programs.

This activity has been supported by an unrestricted educational grant from GSK.

Join us in any of the cities below for a complimentary dinner, an accredited educational presentation, and networking opportunity for rheumatology healthcare professionals.
